\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The SC Senate Judiciary Committee<\/a> met for nearly three hours on Tuesday, March 22, however the meeting ended five items short ( after finishing item #19 ) before reaching the last item ( #24 out of 24 Agenda<\/a> items ), S.719<\/a> SC Personhood Constitutional Amendment.
\n<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/span>With the SC Senate in Recess all of next week ( March 27 – April 2 ), the next regular Tuesday<\/a> meeting\u00a0of the full Senate Judiciary Committee<\/a> will likely be Tuesday, April 5 at 3pm.\u00a0 It is expected that S.719<\/a>\u00a0 will be taken up at that meeting.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

At present, there are eight known votes in support of S.719<\/a> on the 22-man Senate Judiciary Committee.\u00a0One of the non-supporting Senators has agreed to abstain, meaning we may need up to 11 votes for\u00a0S.719<\/a> to pass on April 5.

\u00a0 \u00a0 Upcoming Senate Judiciary Committee vote on S.719 <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday, April 5, 2016<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0*** Your Immediate Help and Action is Needed ! ***<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Dear Pro-Life, Pro-Personhood Christians,<\/p>\n

The SC Personhood Constitutional Amendment S.719<\/a> passed out of a three-man Judiciary Subcommittee on Thursday, March 17 by a vote of 2 Yeas ( Bright<\/a>, Corbin<\/a> ) to 1 Nay ( Bright Matthews<\/a> );\u00a0but was then placed last on the Agenda<\/a> for the regular Tuesday<\/a> March 22 meeting of the full Senate
\nJudiciary Committee<\/a>, chaired by judicial supremacist Senator Larry Martin<\/a> ( R-Pickens ), who opposes\u00a0SC Personhood Constitutional Amendment S.719<\/a>.\u00a0 S.719<\/a> appeared on the Agenda<\/a> as #24 of 24 items.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, March 22, the full Senate Judiciary Committee meeting started early, and met for nearly\u00a0three hours, however the meeting ended five items short ( after finishing item #19 ) before reaching the last\u00a0item, SC Personhood Constitutional Amendment S.719<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the SC Senate in Recess all of next week ( March 27- April 2 ), that means the next regular \u00a0Tuesday<\/a> meeting of the full Senate Judiciary Committee<\/a> will likely be Tuesday, April 5 at 3pm.\u00a0 It is very\u00a0likely S.719<\/a> will be taken up for consideration at that meeting.\u00a0 Please consider attending, arriving at 2pm\u00a0if possible, sitting near the front, and obtaining a pink lapel tag to wear showing your support of <\/u>S.719<\/a>.\u00a0 The\u00a0meeting will likely be in Room 105, Gressette Senate Office Bldg, immediately behind the SC State House.<\/p>\n

Whether or not you are able to physically come on April 5, please contact Judiciary Comm. Senators between now and then by any and\/or all of the contact means posted on each individual Senator\u2019s webpage at the www.scstatehouse.gov<\/a> website ( first click on \u201cSenators\u201d, then click on the individual Senator\u2019s name ),\u00a0and convey this simple message to them: \u201cPlease vote to pass S719 SC Personhood Constitutional\u00a0Amendment.\u00a0 If you cannot vote \u2018Yes\u2019 to S719, please do not<\/u> vote against<\/u> S719, please abstain<\/u>.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Please look at the two example lobbying memos which are posted here<\/a> to Senator Campsen\u00a0and to Senator Hembree.\u00a0 Using the four blank lobbying memos enclosed, please write up memos like these in your own handwriting, using your name, to at least four of these seven Senators:\u00a0 Campsen, Bennett, Hembree, Rankin, Thurmond, McElveen, and Saab.\u00a0 [ You may also print out more blank lobbying memos posted here<\/a> [ two blank Senate Lobbying Memos ], or you can go to the \u201cPersonhood Act\u201d page of the ChristianLifeandLiberty.net<\/a> website.\u00a0 Go to the \u201cPersonhood Act\u201d page, item # 102., which is entitled:\u201cBlank Form – Memo Form for Lobbying SC Senate <\/a>Members<\/a>\u201d. ]\u00a0 Write-up memos to all seven if you wish.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT<\/u> !\u00a0 <\/b>The Judiciary Committee meeting is likely at 3pm, however the entire Senate goes into\u00a0Session inside the SC State House Tuesday, April 5 at 12 noon.\u00a0 Please mail your completed lobbying memos back to Christians for Personhood, PO Box 12222, Columbia, SC 29211<\/u><\/b>, such that they arrive, preferably, on or before Monday, April 4<\/u>, but absolutely NLT Tuesday, April 5<\/u> in the morning mail, so that they can be picked up, taken to the SC State House, and turned in to the courtesy desk located just outside the Senate chamber, for hand-delivery by Senate pages to each Senator personally inside the chamber during Session.<\/p>\n

If SC Personhood Constitutional Amendment S.719<\/a> is to pass the SC Senate, and if S.719<\/a> is to be\u00a0placed on the November 8, 2016 General Election ballot for the people of South Carolina to vote on whether\u00a0our State Constitution will explicitly protect the lives of pre-birth human beings from the moment of conception\u00a0( fertilization ), then S.719<\/a> must come out of the Senate Judiciary Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please do what you can to help stop the shedding of innocent blood in South Carolina.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

In Christ,
\nSteve Lefemine<\/p>\n
